Paul has nearly 20 years of experience teaching both children and adults. He owned two of his own English schools in Poland (where he met Agnieszka!) and a few years ago he decided to incorporate chess into his teaching repertoire.​Under the watchful eye of his wife, he has developed into an experienced teacher for beginner and lower-intermediate level students and he takes particular pride in helping young students increase both their skills and confidence in playing chess.
